Chris, "Well, how old do you mean by old? As in, if I had an ancient ISA video card or three, would you want something like that?" Possibly. Please tell me what they are. Was thinking more like early PCIs for a P3 Test PC that does not have ISA slots.
"I tried ReactOS about a year ago and was not able to load it, because at least at that time it didn't have functionality at initial boot to allow pressing F6 to install a hard disk controller driver from floppy before installing. As such it couldn't detect the onboard RAID controller, and so the attempt at installing it ended there. Other than the above obvious frustration, ReactOS does look promising." My problem was once I had booted it, there were no Windows apps of interest that I could even run. Am going to wait until Wine has the DLLs I need. "I'm wondering why you'd want to play with BeOS, since I believe that product has been deprecated for quite some time now. Actually there has been a resurgence the last couple years. More new app developers on bebits. http://www.bebits.com/ "I wasn't happy when it had gotten bought out and the product dropped -- BeOS had some interesting ideas built into it." Totally Agree! Maybe because I started with a Mac so really like BeOS interface. Biggest problem for me is finding Killer Apps for it. Have been told that FireFox http://www.bebits.com/talkback/2715 and SeaMonkey http://www.bebits.com/app/2310 have really improved as a result, am interested in retrying them on older P3 hardware.
